Lee Hazlewood - The City Never Sleeps At Night lyrics

Old men, young men Preachers saying "Amen" Taking up collection Playing on a ba** drum How come the city never sleeps at night? Red cars, blue cars Payment overdue cars Cops with indigestion Millionaires and some bums How come the city never sleeps at night? The city never sleeps at night Short girls, tall girls Happy that they're all girls Walking with tonight's love Holding hands and then some How come the city never sleeps at night? Good guys, bad guys Winning-placed and show guys Losers with their hands out Pigeons begging breadcrumbs How come the city never sleeps at night? The city never sleeps at night Long nights, short nights Big hellos and goodnights Dreams and conversation Not a single ho-hum How come the city never sleeps at night? Old men, young men Preachers saying "Amen" Taking up collection Playing on a ba** drum How come the city never sleeps at night?
